Last year we photographed Katie's senior pictures and a few months later she was diagnosed with Lupus. On Saturday Katie and her mom and sister will be participating in Walk for Lupus at the Sedgwick County Zoo. The event helps brings awareness to the community about the disease. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body. There currently is no cure for Lupus. There is an estimated 1.5 million Americans living with Lupus today. Lupus usually strikes women in their child bearing age (15-44) although it can also affect men, children and teenagers as well.
